Just started reloading,loaded a few 38 special rounds and shot them today at the range.Loaded 125 grain TMJ's at 5.1 grain.Only shot two of them though out of a 38 special 2 inch barrel.Had a little problem with 8 of the rounds,me like a dummy put to much of a bell in them and they wouldnt go into the cylinder.Corrected that problem when i got home.Now the question i have is do you need to crimp pistol loads?Kinda scary pulling that trigger on the first round though.
